Liposomes as Carriers of GHK-Cu Tripeptide for Cosmetic Application.
Dymek M, Olechowska K, Hąc-Wydro K, Sikora E. Dymek M, et al. Pharmaceutics. 2023 Oct 18;15(10):2485. doi: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15102485. Pharmaceutics. 2023. PMID: 37896245 Free PMC article.
They can be used as carriers of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic substances, such as the anti-aging and wound-healing copper-binding peptide, GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine). Anionic (AL) and cationic (CL) hydrogenated lecithin-based liposomes were obtained as …

Exploring the beneficial effects of GHK-Cu on an experimental model of colitis and the underlying mechanisms.
Mao S, Huang J, Li J, Sun F, Zhang Q, Cheng Q, Zeng W, Lei D, Wang S, Yao J. Mao S, et al. Front Pharmacol. 2025 Jul 2;16:1551843. doi: 10.3389/fphar.2025.1551843. eCollection 2025. Front Pharmacol. 2025. PMID: 40672369 Free PMC article.
In addition to suppressing p-STAT3 expression, GHK-Cu may utilize additional pathways to inhibit inflammatory factors. Furthermore, GHK-Cu may reduce the number of Th17 cells. In summary, GHK-Cu may treat UC by acting on the SIRT1/STAT3 p …

Glycyl-l-histidyl-l-lysine-Cu2+ rescues cigarette smoking-induced skeletal muscle dysfunction via a sirtuin 1-dependent pathway.
Deng M, Zhang Q, Yan L, Bian Y, Li R, Gao J, Wang Y, Miao J, Li J, Zhou X, Hou G. Deng M, et al. J Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle. 2023 Jun;14(3):1365-1380. doi: 10.1002/jcsm.13213. Epub 2023 Mar 10. J Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle. 2023. PMID: 36905132 Free PMC article.
Mechanistically, GHK-Cu directly binds and activates SIRT1(the binding energy was -6.1 kcal/mol). Through activating SIRT1 deacetylation, GHK-Cu inhibits FoxO3a transcriptional activity to reduce protein degradation, deacetylates Nrf2 and contribute to …
